S10 E1 | Discovery of New Things on Blockchain w/Bunny (Dora) Oct 24, 2024

In our first episode of Season 10, we’re speaking with Bunny, CEO of Dora, an onchain discovery engine that’s making it easier than ever for people to discover new apps and projects across a multitude of chains.

We talk about why onchain data is important and more specifically why human readable onchain data is important. Bunny explains why he believes read only block explorers will die over the long run and we’ll end up with dev-focused, analytics-focused, and consumer-focused experiences for onchain data.

Bunny also shares his thoughts on what the endstate of consumer crypto is and how well we’re progressing toward that goal.

Bunny was nominated by myself, Diana Chen, and voted onto the podcast by Katy Atherholt, Jimmy Chang, Nich, David Phelps, Triumph, Irina Marinescu, and Defi Beats.

S9 E9 | Infra vs Apps, Shared Sequencers, and Dungeon Masters w/Jill Gunter (Espresso) Sep 19, 2024

In our final episode of Season 9, we’re speaking with Jill Gunter, Chief Strategy Officer at Espresso Systems, the coordination layer that unites chains, rollups, and applications.

We start off with a hot topic nowadays which is whether we should be focusing more on building infrastructure or apps. You might assume you know where Jill stands on this topic as someone who’s working on a middleware solution, but there’s actually a lot more to the story from her perspective.

Jill has lots of excellent analogies to help us better understand technical concepts like shared sequencers and rollups, and she debunks some common misconceptions people have about Espresso ahead of their mainnet launch this quarter.

This is an excellent episode for the nontechnical person to listen to to better understand how various components of blockchains work, as well as for the more technical person to have some of their uncertainties about shared sequencers and the work Espresso is doing around that cleared up.

Jill was nominated for Rehash by Meg Lister and voted onto the podcast by Richie Bonilla, Irina Marinescu, Meg Lister, and Diana Chen.

S9 E8 | Event Design Playbook & Crypto in the Global South w/Gloria Kimbwala (Sei Foundation) Sep 12, 2024

In this episode, we’re speaking with Gloria Kimbwala, Head of Events at Sei Foundation, about crypto events and crypto in the global south.

Gloria has been working in the crypto space since 2017, primarily within builder communities and more recently as the events lead at Sei Foundation. She has attended and organized countless events, both in crypto and outside of crypto, and she shares her knowledge and expertise with us on how to design a successful event, and from the attendee side, how to decide which events to go to when it feels like there’s literally a crypto event every single week.

We spend the second half of this convo talking about crypto in the global south - what types of apps and use cases are being built out there and more importantly how to get funding into the hands of founders based in Africa and LATAM.

Gloria was nominated by Rachael Amy and voted onto the podcast by Gary Sheng, Hudson Jameson, Queen Wartooth, Rachael Amy, Irina Marinescu, and Diana Chen.

S9 E7 | Crypto's Three Body Problem w/Toby Shorin, Laura Lotti, and Sam Hart (Other Internet) Sep 05, 2024

In this episode, we’re speaking with Toby Shorin, Laura Lotti, and Sam Hart from Other Internet about their most recent article on crypto’s three body problem, clarifying some common misconceptions about headless brands, and getting their take on the current state of onchain culture.

The idea for this collaboration or interview came about when we had Jon Wu on the podcast last season in S8 E4 which aired on May 9, 2024. In that episode, Jon criticized the concept of a “headless brand” that was coined by the Other Internet team back in 2019, and Toby Shorin responded that Jon’s interpretation of “headless brands” was not what the authors had intended when they wrote the article. It turns out that many people have similar interpretations of “headless brands” that Jon had, so it was helpful and productive to give the Other Internet team a chance to clarify what they meant.

We then discuss their latest article on crypto’s three body problem and give the team a chance to speak about it for the first time since publishing the article, and finally I asked Sam about a spicy post he wrote recently that called out a lot of the current onchain culture for being “completely soulless” and a “cultural wasteland.”

Toby, Laura, and Sam were nominated for Rehash by Diana Chen and voted onto the podcast by Richie Bonilla, Triumph, fifthworldzach, Tim Black, Birb, Amy Jung, Rachael Amy, and Anay Sim.

S9 E6 | Pixel Pushing Our Way to Better UX w/0xdesigner Aug 29, 2024

In this episode, we’re speaking with 0xdesigner about all things design, anonymity, and UX/UI in web3.

This is the longest episode in Rehash history, but we had so much to talk about and 0xdesigner graciously gave us almost two hours of his time to share his thoughts on all things consumer crypto, UX improvements, and the design space.

0xdesigner is primarily a product designer who has been putting out a new UX/UI design each day for the past 1.5 years, usually some sort of UX or design improvement to an existing app or envisioning a new app.

Not only does he have so many clever and creative ideas he shares every day, but he also has so much optimism and enthusiasm for crypto throughout all the highs and lows over the past few years. He truly believes in a future that’s enhanced by crypto and blockchain and is focused every day on working toward that goal.

0xdesigner was nominated by Ernest Kou and voted onto the podcast by Brenner Spear, Tom Scaria, Magenta Ceiba, Ernest Kou, Nick Naraghi, Lucas, Birb, Amy Jung, fifthworldzach, Maz, and David Phelps.

S9 E5 | Is Public Goods Funding Sustainable? w/Sophia Dew (Celo) Aug 22, 2024

In this episode, we’re speaking with Sophia Dew, DevRel Engineering Lead at Celo, about all things onchain funding and what goes into launching a layer 2 blockchain.

Sophia joined Celo about a month ago, and prior to that she was working on Public Goods Network, or PGN, a layer 2 blockchain focused on public goods. PGN ended up running out of money and winding down but Sophia learned tons of lessons along the way about maintaining a blockchain that she shares with us in this episode.

We then did a deep dive into onchain funding - what new things it enables, why it’s important, and Sophia gives lots of examples of use cases or apps she would love to see get built out in the onchain funding arena.

Sophia was nominated by Nicole (by way of Triumph) and voted onto the podcast by Richie Bonilla, Andy Boyan, Meg Lister, David Phelps, Rachael Amy, and Triumph.

S9 E4 | What is Data Availability? w/Rene Lubov (Celestia) Aug 15, 2024

In this episode, we’re speaking with Rene Lubov, software engineer at Celestia, about data availability (DA), or what Rene prefers to call data publishing.

Rene is one of the founding engineers at Celestia and breaks down for us everything we need to know about DA and how it’s implemented at Celestia. We also talk about modularity in blockchains, light nodes, and other technical concepts that you may have heard of before but maybe don’t have a clear understanding of just yet. She does a great job of explaining all of these concepts clearly.

On a more personal level, Rene also shares about her background, how she taught herself to code, what protocol engineering is (hint: it’s very different from app development or smart contract coding), what it was like being a founding engineer at Celestia, and her experience as a woman in crypto having joined way back in the early days.

Rene was nominated for Rehash by Tina and voted onto the podcast by Tina, Jimmy Chang, Hudson Jameson, Queen Wartooth, and David Phelps.

S9 E3 | Fractional Work, AI Learning Models, and Bitcoin Developer Ecosystem w/Bethany Crystal Aug 08, 2024

In this episode, we’re speaking with Bethany Crystal about all things fractional work, using AI to improve learning and workflows, and we wrap up with a quick discussion on the Bitcoin developer ecosystem.

Bethany is the web3 fractional work queen, and she shares very openly in this episode about her experience as a fractional worker in web3, what her process looks like, and practical tips for others to think outside of the box about how they want to work.

As a mother of two and hobbyist of many things, Bethany has had to think creatively about how she can find the best balance for herself to do all the things she wants to do in life. For her, the answer was fractional work, or working on various projects on a contract or part time basis so that she has time for other aspects of life she enjoys and so that she can have her curiosity constantly satisfied with a variety of projects.

She talks about some of the pros and cons to being a fractional worker, the types of people she believes are best suited for the job, and gives us practical tips for identifying our core skillsets and finding work. She also shares some of the ways she’s been using AI to aid in her workflow and help her learn new skills at a much faster rate as well.

Bethany was nominated by DeFi Beats and voted onto the podcast by DeFi Beats, Parker Jay-Pachirat, Birb, Triumph, fifthworldzach, David Phelps, Spencer Graham, Andy Boyan, and Nick Naraghi.

S9 E1 | The Future of Digital Art, Galleries, and Community Building for Artists w/P1A Jul 11, 2024

To kick off Season 9, we are speaking with P1A, a contemporary artist, educator, and founder based in Istanbul, about all things web3 and art. We reflect on the NFT craze of 2021, and P1A shares why even though the hype has died down, NFTs are in fact not dead and on the contrary, art NFTs have a long way to grow and develop.

We also talk about the work she’s doing at her studio in Istanbul called Yazane, where she’s helping educate other local artists about web3 and the impact that blockchain can have on their careers as artists. She not only uses the space as a gathering place and educational center but also as a gallery for local artists to be able to exhibit their works without paying the exorbitant fees they would to traditional galleries.

S8 E10 | Organizational Design and Governance Frameworks w/Amy Jung (Safe) Jun 20, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Amy Jung, Governance Lead at Safe and an OG in the Ethereum and specifically DAO space, about all things organization design, governance, and her hottest takes about DAOs.

Amy joined the Safe team back in March of this year and also has her own DAO operations and strategy consultancy called Shared Realities, where she helps organizations and teams with their progressive decentralization strategy and execution, organizational design, and community development. Previously, she worked at MakerDAO for two years as their Head of Community Development and ConsenSys as their Design Operations Lead.

In this episode, Amy reveals many of her strategies and frameworks she uses to help organizations decentralize, starting with questions any organization should ask themselves to decide first and foremost whether it even makes sense for them to decentralize.

Amy presents information in really clearly thought out frameworks that anyone can take back to their organization and implement, and her dedication to the space and deep expertise in DAO organization design is unmatched.

S8 E9 | People Before Protocols w/Irina Marinescu (buidlbox) Jun 13, 2024

On our penultimate episode of the season, we’re speaking with Irina Marinescu, co-founder and CEO of buidlbox, a global hub for builders to learn, earn, and connect in web3.

Irina is also a mentor at Tachyon and a founder of Women in Crypto, and she previously worked as General Counsel at Gitcoin throughout its disaffiliation process to decentralize Gitcoin Holdings (which later became Supermodular) from GitcoinDAO back in Spring 2022.

It was during this transition period that Gitcoin’s bounties and hackathons product, which was originally launched in 2017 by Kevin Owocki, began morphing into what is now buidlbox, and in February 2023 at ETH Denver, buidlbox officially launched. Around that time, Supermodular (previously Gitcoin Holdings) decided to shift its entire focus to supporting the thriving buidlbox platform.

In this episode, Irina shares updates on where buidlbox stands today and how it is shaping the future of learning and work, what she learned from the Gitcoin disaffiliation process, both from a legal and an organizational perspective, and how non-technical people can get involved in hackathons and building in the space.

We then get into the recent SAB 121 bill that President Biden recently vetoed, why Irina believes the SEC hasn’t exactly been aligned with the crypto ecosystem, and the one thing we need to do more of to help regulators change their minds about crypto.

S8 E7 | Airdrop Design and Dragon Academy Revealed for the First Time w/Queen Wartooth May 30, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Queen Wartooth about designing airdrops, strategies for acquiring new users in crypto, and she reveals for the first time the project she’s been working on in stealth, Dragon Academy, which will launch next month.

Queen Wartooth has done a lot of work around designing airdrops and thinking about how best to incentivize users, and we spend the first half or so of the conversation talking about airdrop design, anti-Sybil strategies, and problems around user acquisition in general.

Then, for the second half of the conversation, Wartooth opens up about Dragon Academy, which aims to fundamentally change how airdrops are architected and executed to the benefit of both long term aligned products and new users.

S8 E6 | Can Agentic Tech Take Down Surveillance Capitalism? w/Zoe Weinberg (ex/ante) May 23, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Zoe Weinberg, Founder and Managing Partner at ex/ante, the first venture fund dedicated to agentic tech.

We start our conversation by getting a little insight into Zoe’s background, which is quite unique and unusual but also lends itself quite well to the work she’s doing today in privacy and human agency.

She shares the ways in which her past humanitarian work in conflict zones and developing nations opened her eyes to issues around surveillance capitalism and how she had her first big realization of how crypto can change individuals’ lives in meaningful ways when she met a group of Bitcoin miners in Iraq during the Mosul conflict when Iraq successfully took back the city of Mosul from the Islamic State.

We then dive into some big topics around agentic tech, including user control, consent, privacy, and online (and onchain) data sharing. Zoe envisions a world where humans have full agency over how their information and data are used and we talk about what it might take for us to get there.

S8 E5 | Onchain Data and Smart Contract Design in a Post-Token Paradigm w/Sean McCaffery (JokeRace) May 16, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Sean McCaffery, co-founder of JokeRace, about new developments in smart contract design, how onchain data can drive consumer adoption of crypto, and new and novel use cases for tokens.

We’ve had Sean’s co-founder, David Phelps, on the podcast a couple of times, back in S6 E10 where he talked about crypto use cases for mass adoption and even earlier on in S3 E2 which aired in August 2022 when he talked about non-financial use cases for tokens.

JokeRace is a contests platform for communities to run, grow, and monetize. In our specific case, Rehash holders are able to submit proposals on JokeRace, nominating their favorite people to be guests on the podcast, and our guest lineup for the following season of Rehash is determined through a voting process every quarter.

What’s really inspiring about the work Winny’s doing is that she’s found a way to make consumer crypto really fun and digestible to people outside of crypto by leveraging social rather than gamified experiences.

She shares some interesting takes about why consumer crypto hasn’t been super successful to date and what we need to do differently in order to make crypto products resonate with a mainstream audience.

S8 E2 | Funding Humanitarian Aid With Crypto w/Kat (ethevacuations) Apr 25, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Kat from ethevacuations, a project that’s helping fund evacuations from Gaza with ETH.

Many of you might know Kat from her previous role as Head of Product at Zora, but since December 2023, she has been focusing her efforts on providing humanitarian aid to Palestine through crypto rails.

In this episode we talk about some of the unique behaviors and impacts crypto enables, such as increased speed and ease of international remittances, as well as some of the challenges crypto introduces.

Kat also shares her thoughts on how crypto can be used for international aid more broadly, how she handles tough conversations with friends and colleagues about the crisis that’s been going on in Palestine since October of last year, and what she wishes the mainstream knew about crypto beyond memecoins and scams.

Kat has raised over a quarter million dollars and helped safely evacuate 40 people through ethevacuations so far, and you can support her by donating directly to the wallet address listed on ethevacuations.xyz, by collecting this episode at pods.media/rehash, by tipping on Farcaster or Zora (links below), or by building ethevacuations into a split for an NFT project you’re managing.

S8 E1 | Multiparty Ops Onchain w/Jonah Erlich (Den) Apr 18, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Jonah Erlich about what a multisignature wallet is, how it’s different from MPC (multiparty computation), best security practices for managing a multisig, and how to be a good multisig signer.

Jonah experienced many of the common challenges multisig signers face when he was operating as a core team member of ConstitutionDAO back in late 2022, which is what inspired him to build Den, a tool that helps teams operate more quickly, safely, and effectively onchain through things like human readable descriptions, notifications, recurring transactions, and much more which Jonah shares more about in this episode.

We wrap up with a few “can you nots” where we share some of our biggest pet peeves about things multisig signers or people operating in crypto in general like to do, and Jonah overdelivers on his campaign promise to tell an embarrassing childhood story about Diana by telling not one but two embarrassing childhood stories about her.

[BONUS] LIVE FROM DENVER: L2 WARS Mar 25, 2024

On our final special bonus episode of Rehash recorded live in Denver on March 1, 2024, we’re holding our first ever debate between three major L2 chains: Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism. The representatives from each chain are Hudson Jameson (Polygon), Disruption Joe (Arbitrum), and Binji (Optimism).

Each representative gives opening and closing statements about why the layer 2 chain they’re working on is the best one, shares some popular use cases for projects building on their chain, and some even attack other chains in an attempt to win the L2 wars.

This debate is all in good fun, as we all believe in a multichain future and are rooting for the success of all three chains, but we do wrap up the episode by asking our live studio audience to vote on which chain they’re most bullish on after hearing the debates.

At the end of the day, we all want each other to win, and we all want Ethereum to win.

S7 E10 | Unpacking Solana and DeFi Education w/Caitlin Cook Mar 21, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Caitlin Cook, Head of Communications and Marketing at Hxro Labs, a distributed liquidity layer for derivatives trading and betting on Solana.

Caitlin is the first guest from the Solana ecosystem that we’ve had on the podcast, so we had to take advantage of this time to ask her all the questions about Solana. Caitlin talks about some trends she’s seeing on Solana that are unique to the ecosystem, why she believes Solana has grown so much, and what role she sees Solana playing in our multichain world moving forward.

Prior to joining Hxro Labs, where she works now, Caitlin was a DeFi educator for about 18 months, primarily educating TradFi institutions about DeFi but also creating educational content for the general public as well, so we chatted about her experiences with that and what she found to be the most convincing narratives for both the general public as well as TradFi institutions to pique their curiosity about DeFi and begin to onboard them.

Finally, Caitlin shared some great insights on the best ways to onboard the next billion users to crypto.

[BONUS] LIVE FROM DENVER: THE MULTICHAIN WORLD Mar 18, 2024

On this special bonus episode of Rehash recorded live in Denver on March 1, 2024, we’re speaking with Irene Wu, Foobar, and Munam about the multichain world.

We start by identifying some of the challenges of building for cross chain interoperability and whether certain tradeoffs will inevitably exist in a multichain world.

Then, we speculate on what a multichain world might look like, how far away from that ideal future we currently are, and what needs to happen in order for us to reach the next billion people with crypto.

S7 E9 | Onboarding Women to Crypto w/Maggie Love Mar 14, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Maggie Love, founder of SheFi, about onboarding newcomers to crypto and making web3 a friendlier space for women and non-binary folks.

SheFi is an organization that’s empowering professional women and nonbinary folks to reinvent careers in frontier industries like web3 and AI. They’re currently on their 10th cohort and have almost 3,000 members.

Maggie has primarily been working on SheFi on a part time basis outside of her full time job and just recently went full time with SheFi, so we’re really excited to see what comes next.

We had the special privilege of recording this episode live in person with Maggie during our Rehash event at ETH Denver, and we hope you find this episode as inspiring as we did.

S7 E8 | Onchain Media, Culture & Distribution w/Richie Bonilla Mar 07, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Richie Bonilla, founder of Forage, about onchain distribution and culture, how to introduce new consumer behaviors, and thinking beyond skeuomorphic models.

Richie is a repeat guest who previously made an appearance on Rehash almost a year ago in S4 E7 where he talked about the future of independent work.

Today, Richie is working on Forage, the easiest way for people to discover and support their favorite onchain projects. You’ll hear us mention his new product as Quests in this episode, but since we recorded this episode, the product has actually been renamed to Forage and you can find it at forage.xyz.

In this highly conversational episode, Richie and I talk through traditional models of distribution in media that have failed us and left a bad taste in our mouth and propose new models of onchain distribution that break down a lot of the assumptions we’ve made about concepts like advertising and ownership.

S7 E7 | Rethinking Community Building Through Crypto Rails w/aiio Mar 01, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Irina Panovich (aka aiio) about non-linear models for cultural production, the importance of physicality and play when exploring emerging tech, and the importance of experimentation in crypto.

For the last five years, aiio has been experimenting with an arts and tech collective in Copenhagen called 320 Colab, testing out various theses relating to funding for artists and creatives. This is her first time sharing publicly on a podcast about her experiences and learnings from that experiment.

We talk a lot in this episode about experimenting in crypto, especially with community and culture, and aiio shares some key learnings and advice for building a community around foundational values and using human centered design.

She also gives us a sneak peek into a new project she’s working on right now that will be launching soon - a new podcast with UFO that she’ll be using to experiment with new forms and models for podcasting.

S7 E6 | Dissecting Crypto Infrastructure w/Eshita Feb 22, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Eshita, Head of Strategy at Astria, about the current state of crypto infra, why developer tooling is lagging, and we get to the bottom of what shared sequencers are.

After spending a couple of years researching the crypto ecosystem, Eshita started to feel like a bystander and wanted to become more of an active participant in the ecosystem, so she recently joined Astria to help build out their shared sequencer network.

Astria allows many rollups to share a single decentralized network of sequencers, which increases censorship resistance and enables faster block confirmations, all while allowing each rollup to maintain their own sovereignty.

We then zoom out a bit and look at crypto infrastructure as a whole, and Eshita shares what she believes to be some of the most important pieces in the infra space right now as well as areas where she hopes to see more development and innovation moving forward.

S7 E5 | Unlocking Human Potential w/Julia Lipton Feb 15, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Julia Lipton, Founder and General Partner at Awesome People Ventures, about unlocking latent potential in humans, finding product market fit in web3 communities, and the most important things happening in the global landscape right now.

In many ways it’s surprising that it took us until Season 7 to bring Julia on the podcast because she has actually played a part in Rehash from Day 0 as you’ll hear us talk about at the beginning of this episode. Julia is an investor, connector of people, and all around one of the kindest and most generous humans I’ve encountered in this space.

In this episode we start out by talking about DAO Masters, a project she crowdfunded through Mirror that ended up winding down last summer, and what she learned about the give-get equation through her experience there. She wrote a really thoughtful Twitter thread about the give-get equation that I’ve linked in the show notes and would encourage you all to check out, especially if you’re someone working in or adjacent to the DAO ecosystem.

We then get into a discussion around why there’s so much latent and unused human talent floating around in the corporate world and what people have been doing about it, such as flocking to freelance and contract work, or even to DAOs. Obviously DAOs aren’t perfect and are far from it, but Julia shares some strategies she thinks could be implemented for DAOs to be more effective in their operations while maintaining the same draw they have for people today.

Finally, we talk about what Julia is most focused on in the global landscape with crypto and nintynick chimes in with a question about progressive decentralization.

S7 E4 | Building, Investing, and Finding Ikigai in Crypto w/13yearoldvc Feb 08, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with 13yearoldvc, Ecosystem Lead at Eigenlayer, about how she studied 50 projects a day to identify trends as a VC, why she now enjoys building more than investing, and what it is about Eigenlayer that she believes makes it a really special one of a kind project.

“If you can’t explain it to a 10 year old in 2 minutes or less, don’t own it.” -Peter Lynch

Few people in web3 are very good at explaining crypto and blockchain concepts in a way that’s easy for mainstream consumers to understand (myself included), but 13yearoldvc is different. She came into this episode loaded with analogies that make complex topics like staking and data availability and seemingly complex projects like Eigenlayer easily understandable to a 10 year old.

On a more personal note, she shares how she found her ikigai with her work at Eigenlayer now and her best advice for others to find their ikigai. She also shares her best advice for others who want to succeed as a VC or as a builder in web3 or both.

AI and blockchain are two buzzwords anyone operating remotely adjacent to the tech space has heard a lot of in recent years, but we haven’t heard much of the two concepts operating together.

Gabriel believes there’s actually a strong case for AI and blockchain to operate together, and in this episode he shares why he believes blockchain and crypto can have a strong impact on AI and provides a plethora of fascinating examples and future use cases for the two to interoperate.

We then get into a discussion about autonomous worlds - how Gabriel defines them, what they unlock, and why they might be the next evolution of DAOs.

S7 E2 | Bitcoin ETFs & Avoiding Scams w/Birb Jan 25, 2024

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Birb aka Chairman Birb Bernanke aka bonecondor on Twitter all about the new Bitcoin ETF and best security practices in crypto.

Birb started her career in TradFi and was a product manager for a number of years before joining OtterSec, a blockchain security audits company. We start out by talking about the Bitcoin ETF, and Birb patiently answers a lot of my very basic questions, like what is an ETF and how is it different from index funds, before we move into more interesting questions like is this a good move for the crypto industry overall and what does this tell us about how the SEC will be treating crypto companies in 2024.

After we figure out what a Bitcoin ETF is, we get into a discussion about security best practices for DeFi protocols and other companies building onchain. Birb shares her best pieces of advice for organizations and for end users to avoid scams and hacks and gives us an inside look into what really goes on behind the scenes of some of these hacks.

S7 E1 | How to Not Get Rekt in Crypto w/DeFi Beats Jan 18, 2024

On our first episode of Season 7, we’re speaking with DeFi Beats aka Johnny Gabriele about how to not get rekt in crypto, why WAGMI is not dead, and his best pieces of advice for newcomers to the crypto and blockchain space.

DeFi Beats is an advisor, investor, DeFi power user, good listener, and self admittedly terrible speller.

He initially had his sights set on getting his PhD and becoming a professor, but when that plan fell through, he found himself in a unique job as part management consultant, part podcaster, and part therapist where he helped numerous people find solutions to problems they were facing across a wide spectrum of areas - from air conditioning to figure skating to life threatening medical conditions.

Today, he has rechanneled his eagerness to help into helping onboard people to the blockchain space and saving people from getting rekt by their inner degenerate. He’s currently building out an AI chatbot called The Crypto Professor that’s designed to help newcomers learn about crypto and stay safe while exploring the space.

S6 E9 | Crypto-Enabled Livestreaming w/Ravi Bakhai Dec 07, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Ravi Bakhai, founder of Hypeshot, about why livestreaming is a compelling medium across so many industries, what a crypto-enabled live streaming platform unlocks for creators, and future livestreaming trends we can expect to see in the next five years.

Even though livestreaming has technically been around since the early 1990s, with the very first livestream taking place in 1993 when a few employees from Xerox PARC in California decided to livestream their buddies’ band performance, livestreaming didn’t really pick up steam until the late 2000s or early 2010s when YouTube launched livestreaming and Twitch was born.

Since then, livestreaming has seen a slow but steady growth, primarily in niche communities. More recently, however, livestreaming has been seeping into a wider array of industries and creator types. Now we’re not just seeing gamers streaming on Twitch, but we’re also seeing artists, musicians, and other types of creators in the streaming scene. On the opposite end of that spectrum, we’re seeing big corporations building livestreaming into their corporate marketing and communications strategies as well.

Ravi also shares the latest on Hypeshot, the crypto-enabled live streaming platform he’s building, as well as how some of his favorite streamers have been using the crypto elements there. Finally, we riff on some serious and some not so serious use cases we’d like to see on Hypeshot in the future.

S6 E7 | Blockchain Meets Impact w/Magenta Ceiba Nov 16, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Magenta Ceiba, Principal Systems Architect at Bloom Network, about how we can use blockchain tech to empower local communities in their grassroots ecological efforts, where Magenta sees the future of regenerative finance going, and how to best organize communities in a decentralized yet still well managed and organized way.

Bloom Network is a community network that helps people find and participate in grassroots climate and social repair wherever they live around the world. They’ve implemented various aspects of blockchain technology and web3 concepts to fund their network and their people through retroactive funding mechanisms and community tokens, and they take a balanced approach to governance that any DAO or online community can learn from.

Magenta mentions a number of projects and resources in this episode, and I’ve tried to link all of them in the show notes, so if you’re interested in learning more about the projects she mentions in this episode or are looking for reputable nonprofit organizations that support various ecological causes you care about, be sure to check out the links in the show notes or on our Mirror or Substack pages at rehash.mirror.xyz and rehashweb3.substack.com.

S6 E6 | Creating Mass Adoption w/Luca Netz Nov 09, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy Penguins, about how to take crypto to the mainstream, strategies for building for longevity, and Luca shares some alpha on the biggest mistake crypto founders make that results in the demise of their project.

Pudgy Penguins is an NFT pfp project on Ethereum that was launched in July 2021 and purchased by Luca in April 2022 for 750 ETH, or around $2.5M USD.

Pudgy Penguins is really the only NFT project to have reached the mainstream in any meaningful way, with their figurines and plushies now being sold in Walmart stores across the country.

They’ll also be debuting a couple of new things they’ve been working on soon, namely Overpass and Pudgy World, which Luca shares more about in this episode.

If you’re a Pudgy Penguins holder, you will love this episode, and if you work in crypto in any capacity, you’ll be able to learn something new from Luca that you can put into practice straight away to help you find success in this industry.

S6 E5 | Ethereum Secrets & Avoiding Burnout w/Hudson Jameson Nov 02, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Ethereum OG, Hudson Jameson, about his experiences and learnings from actively working in the Ethereum ecosystem since 2015, as well as his personal story of experiencing burnout and his journey with mental health.

Hudson is a developer who first learned about Bitcoin in 2011 and went on to create and launch the blockchain program at USAA in 2014 and join the Ethereum Foundation in 2016, where he worked until 2021. In 2019 while working at the Ethereum Foundation, Hudson also co-founded the Ethereum Cat Herders, an educational platform and research hub that supports the Ethereum Network.

In this episode, we start off by talking about some of Hudson’s learnings from his time in Ethereum, including what he believes to have been the most pivotal moment in Ethereum history, how the community and culture around Ethereum has changed since 2015, and the biggest learnings from mistakes made during Ethereum’s time that other blockchains or crypto projects can learn from today.

We then get into his takes on the current state of Ethereum and L2s, how he sees L2s interacting in the future, and a new whistleblowing use case for blockchain tech that he would love to see get built out.

Finally, we wrap up with a conversation on dealing with burnout in crypto as Hudson shares his own burnout story that landed him in a mental hospital twice and inspired him to get much more involved in his own mental health journey. It’s a story that is all too relatable to those working in crypto, and Hudson shares his honest and raw thoughts on what we can do to protect our mental health while working in crypto, as well as what institutions and employers can do to support individuals.

S6 E4 | Art NFT Curation in a Bear Market w/María Paula Fernández Oct 26, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with María Paula Fernández, co-founder of JPG and a true OG in the NFT space, about living through another bear market, how to be a good web3 art curator, and new blockchain art projects that should be on your radar.

We catch up on what MP's been up to since our last recording together and how she’s been feeling amidst yet another crypto bear market - and notably one that feels different from previous bear markets she’s lived through. Even though overall sentiments are a bit low, I can always rely on Maria to bring some humor into the mix, as we come to the shocking realization that Michael Lewis is in fact the new Tom Cruise (tune into this episode and you’ll hear what I mean).

We then dive deep into the world of art curation and what the role of a curator is, especially in the web3 world. MP believes a good web3 curator is a good storyteller and a good educator, and we look at a new JPG exhibit, Generative Art Beyond the Algorithm, as an example of good curation.

S6 E3 | Onchain Media: The Next Era of Advertising and Brand Building w/Steph Alinsug Oct 19, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Steph Alinsug, founder of VESSEL, the launchpad for onchain media. We talk about what onchain media is, how we can rethink advertising, and what companies can do with more relevant information on their users.

Steph is one of the few repeat guests we’ve had on Rehash. The first time she was on the podcast was almost exactly one year ago in November of last year, and you can listen to Rehash S3 E10 for more context on her thinking around how web3 media has evolved over the last year.

As it turns out, onchain media refers to so much more than simply putting pieces of media onchain, and its effects can be seen and felt across a wide berth of marketing, advertising, and branding initiatives for individual creators and large corporations alike.

Steph challenges us to rethink what we know about advertising and keep an open mind to new, value additive forms of advertising that can actually benefit consumers instead of the value extractive forms of advertising we’ve all grown to know and not love. She paints a picture of what the marketing stack could look like for companies in the future and the ways in which onchain media can help companies better understand their customers so that they can, in turn, provide more targeted value to their most loyal supporters.

If you work in the marketing space or if you’re a creator or founder, you won’t want to miss this episode as you’ll learn a lot of innovative concepts to help you rethink your brand and marketing strategy.

S6 E2 | Monetizing Music Through Fail Proof Incentives w/Laura Jaramillo Oct 12, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Laura Jaramillo, CEO and co-founder of SONA, about helping artists build a more sustainable revenue, designing fail proof protocol incentives, and using music to onboard the next billion users to crypto.

Like many of us, Laura’s journey into crypto was a winding one with many seemingly mismatched pieces that somehow all came together and are contributing to her work at SONA today. After turning down a deal from a major record label at age 16 to become the next Shakira, Laura decided to pursue furniture design at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design), which eventually led her into product and protocol design and designing what is now SONA, a platform to help musicians monetize their music in a different way.

We do a couple of deep dives in this episode - the first one on how to build a sustainable revenue for artists by implementing crypto and DeFi primitives into a music streaming service, and the second on how to design the most effective incentives for a protocol that’s resistant to spam bots and token miners.

We also talk about her new project, SONA, the super random way in which she met her co-founder, TOKiMONSTA, and Laura and Diana have a full circle moment when Diana realizes that a party she had attended almost a year ago during Art Basel was in fact a party put on by Laura and TOKiMONSTA to celebrate one year of their meeting and the birth of SONA.

S6 E1 | Intersection of Onchain and Physical w/Maz & Eiman Oct 05, 2023

On our first episode of Season 6, we have the privilege of speaking with Maz and Eiman, co-founders of Crowdmuse, a platform for multiplayer collaboration on fashion drops and digital IP rights.

Maz and Eiman explain what digiphysical goods are, not just in the context of fashion, but as it relates to any physical item with a digital counterpart, or vice versa. They do an excellent job of explaining what the benefits are for digital goods to have a physical counterpart, why we might need certain products to be stored on the blockchain, and how onchain IP works.

That naturally led into a conversation about consumer crypto because not only is that what all the VCs are talking about nowadays, but digiphysical goods also live primarily in the consumer space. Maz and Eiman talk about how onchain consumer products will change the way we view identity, community, and brands and whether we should expect to see digiphysical goods permeating into all industries, not just the entertainment and consumer space as we’ve seen it to date.

Finally, Maz and Eiman give us an insider look into Crowdmuse, and Eiman answers a spicy question from the community.

S5 E12 | Have We Peaked Yet? w/Raz Sep 07, 2023

On our final episode of Season 5, we’re speaking with Raz about a variety of topics ranging from building games for his siblings as a child to starting his own business at age 14 to forming anonymous relationships online and so much more. Raz is the CEO and co-founder of Guild, a membership management tool that helps you automate requirements, roles, and rewards for your community.

We start off by talking about Raz’s childhood - how he learned to program at the young age of 6 or 7, how he grew up designing board games for his younger siblings because he wasn’t allowed very much screen time to play the computer games he wanted to play, and how his love of all things games - the strategy, the lore, the escape into an alternative universe - all impacted his future decisions and successes as an investor and builder.

Raz made it big back in DeFi summer of 2020 and shares some of his best investment tips with us, like how to identify entry and exit points and how to stay objective in this space. He talks about how investing has helped him become a better builder and some of the things he’s still learning as a successful founder today.

We then get into a conversation around DAOs, how he defines what constitutes a DAO, and whether he thinks DAOs have peaked yet. I ask him about how Guild has been able to strike such a good balance between being a well organized successful company while running on a relatively very flat organizational structure and championing a lot of the ethos of DAO organization that typically tends to lead to chaos, and he attributes a lot of that to the thinking and work of his brother and co-founder, Bruno, who we’ll hopefully get on the podcast next season.

This was the perfect episode to end the season on and definitely one of my personal favorites. And I know I’ve been saying this a lot lately, but the fact is this season was probably my favorite one yet. It’s so inspiring to me that even in the midst of a bear market where sentiments around crypto and web3 are so low that there are still so many bright minds that are still so dedicated to building and furthering the potential that crypto and blockchain can have on the future of the internet.

We’ll be starting our next round of guest nominations and voting in a little over a week, so make sure you’re following us on Twitter @rehashweb3 or join our Discord community so you can stay up to date on all the happenings around that.

S5 E11 | Onchain Release Clubs w/Yancey Strickler Aug 31, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Yancey Strickler about the problems he sees with the creator economy and why onchain release clubs are a better framing for creative and collaborative work, and we discuss what a post-capitalist world might look like. Yancey is the co-founder of Metalabel and Kickstarter.

We start by envisioning what a post-capitalist world might look like and discussing how practical this model is in the world as we know it today. A lot of this part of the conversation stems from an article he wrote back in 2019 called Post-Capitalism for Realists, as well as his book, This Could Be Our Future.

We more or less agree that while it sounds really nice and idyllic to live in a world where we can all pursue our passions and fully live out our values without worrying about how we’re going to make money from everything we do, the reality is that we all need money to survive, and things are expensive, and it’s therefore an unavoidable part of life (at least in the U.S. and western world) to consider how your passions or objectives can be monetized and to dispense with activities that don’t monetize or at least spend a much smaller amount of your time on non-profit generating activities.

From there, we dive deeper into a conversation around the creator economy - a term that Yancey actually isn’t too fond of, and he explains why in this episode. He prefers to use a framing more analogous to release clubs or labels when thinking about creator collaboration and co-creation.

Even though the creator economy is probably one of our most talked about topics on this season of Rehash, I really appreciate that each of our guests has brought a different perspective to the table. The lens through which Yancey views the creator economy is certainly a unique one, and I’d love to hear what you think after listening to this episode.

Come find us on Twitter or Discord, or write us at rehashweb3@gmail.com and let us know what you think the future of the creator economy will look like. And don’t forget to rate and review this episode on Apple Podcasts and share it with any friends or family members who you think would enjoy listening as well.

S5 E10 | Crypto Economy Meets Creator Economy Aug 24, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Thomas Scaria, co-founder and CEO of one of our sponsors this season, Lore, about the intersection of the crypto economy and the creator economy, why now is not the time to dismiss consumer crypto, and social experiences that can only be enabled by crypto.

As you’ve probably heard me say in past episodes, Lore is the co-ownership platform where you can seamlessly spin up a shared wallet, pool resources, coordinate group activity, etc which all probably sounds a bit vague and abstract.

That’s why I’m so glad we have an entire episode to hear more about some of the use cases Lore enables as well as some of the thinking that inspired Thomas to create Lore.

As we get deeper into our conversation about where the crypto economy meets the creator economy, Thomas weaves in concepts around gaming and financialization into our conversation around creators - topics you don’t usually hear talked about in the same sentence. It really just goes to show how interconnected all of these topics are and how multidisciplinary the web3 space has become.

We also dive into a conversation around consumer crypto, an area that has become somewhat neglected and almost dismissed by investors during the bear market. Having been actively involved in the consumer crypto space since 2018, Thomas brings an insightful and fresh perspective on why now is not the time to dismiss consumer crypto but rather to embrace it from a particular lens.

Thomas does a great job in this episode of illustrating concepts he discusses with real life examples, so you’ll find a pretty long list of projects in the links section below.

S5 E9 | Current State of Crypto Regulation w/Rebecca Rettig Aug 17, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Rebecca Rettig, Chief Legal and Policy Officer at Polygon Labs, about the current state of crypto regulation around the world.

This is the first legal and policy focused conversation we’ve had on Rehash in over a year - the last conversation we had on crypto regulation was with Katherine Wu from Archetype and Crypto Council for Innovation all the way back in Season 2.

The main difference I wanted to touch on in this episode (other than just getting a more current take on where crypto regulation currently stands) is getting a more global perspective on how different countries or regions of the world are looking at crypto. Rebecca talks about key pieces of crypto legislation like MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) in the EU and FIT (Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act) in the US and shares her perspectives on which countries have the most crypto friendly policies.

We focus most of the conversation on crypto policy, but we do chat a bit on the legal front as well. Rebecca talks about some key court cases we’ve seen recently in the U.S., such as the Coinbase case, and shares her take on what she believes the SEC’s strategy is and what that means for us as people building and working in the industry.

Finally we wrap up with some spicy questions from our community, like how to stay out of jail as someone building in web3 or whether crypto will ever succeed in the U.S.

Rebecca was nominated by Carsten and voted onto the podcast by Justin Conley, Katelyn Donnelly, Zayi Reyes, Meg Lister, Aaron Soskin, David Silverman, anon, and Carsten.

S5 E8 | Dissecting Identity, Reputation, and Trust w/Billy Luedtke Aug 10, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we are dissecting identity, reputation, and truth with Billy Luedtke, founder of Intuition, a full stack solution that allows anyone to claim anything about anything.

If that sounds cryptic to you, you’ll want to brace yourself because Billy and I go down countless esoteric rabbit holes in this episode about what our true identity is, how we know something to be true, and the ways in which technology is affecting our biological intuition.

Billy has been in the crypto space for over 10 years and has been working on various decentralized identity projects throughout this time as one of the earliest employees at ConsenSys and later a founder of Uport, one of the earliest projects in web3 focused on decentralized identity.

Many of the ideas we discuss in this episode are open to interpretation, and you probably have your own perspectives on these topics that differ from ours. I would love to hear your thoughts on these topics and open the conversation up to the community. Feel free to tag us on Twitter or join our Discord server and share your thoughts with us.

S5 E7 | Collectively Curated Onchain Radio w/Nick Hollins Aug 03, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with fellow podcaster, Nick Hollins, about the creator economy, web3 communities, and building a collectively curated onchain radio at UFO. Nick is the creator of UFO and co-founder of Apollo, the creative lab that produces UFO.

The creator economy has grown in leaps and bounds since the early 2000s with the introduction of blogging, to Youtube’s emergence, to social media and influencer marketing. The more recent implementation of blockchain technology, cryptography, and what we now see as the overarching web3 space to the creator economy has introduced a plethora of new funding and ownership tools we never saw before.

Creators are now able to directly own and monetize their works, tokenize their intellectual property rights, share revenue with co-creators and collaborators transparently, automate payments, engage with their fans more meaningfully, and much more.

Our guest, Nick, comes from a traditional community radio background in Australia and now uses a lot of his learnings from that world to build UFO, which is aspiring to be an onchain radio and club for creators and consumers of media.

We talk about all of this and more and wrap up with an unexpectedly eerie explain your tweet segment at the end that triggers Diana’s deepest fears.

S5 E6 | Exploring NFTs in Art History w/Blake Finucane Jul 27, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Blake Finucane, Chief Strategy Officer at Emergent Entertainment and host of the Context Podcast with Boys Club, about the history of cryptoart and NFTs, strategies for NFT projects to succeed long term, and the role of NFTs in shaping the future of gaming. Emergent Entertainment is a leading metaverse and blockchain game studio.

Blake is one of the earliest researchers of NFTs (non-fungible tokens). While most people started learning about NFTs in 2021, Blake has been studying NFTs since 2016, years before the ERC-721 token standard for NFTs was developed in early 2018.

As a result of her innovative research on NFTs, she received a Canadian research grant to study at University of British Columbia, where she wrote her master’s thesis on how blockchain technology and cryptocurrency can be applied to the art world. It was one of the first ever academic theses to be published on crypto art, and we get to hear firsthand about it from the author in this episode.

We also spend some time talking about web3 gaming and the role of NFTs in games. Blake is currently working on a game called Resurgence through her company, Emergent Entertainment, and she has some refreshing takes about how games should (or shouldn’t) structure their token models if they want to be successful.

Blake has a wealth of knowledge and is so in tune with the culture of the space. She’s taken active steps to strike a balance between work and wellness, and she shares her best advice for achieving a healthy work-life balance while working in web3.

S5 E5 | Onchain World Building w/Peter Pan Jul 20, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we’re speaking with Peter Pan, partner at 1kx, about how to identify successful early stage web3 projects, why certain NFT projects from the last bull run succeeded while others failed, and how we might be able to simulate real life physics in a digital environment. 1kx is an early stage investment firm that specializes in ecosystem growth.

One of the hardest things to do in this space is to separate the hype from what’s real, and Peter does a great job of explaining how he analyzes various web3 projects to determine which ones will last the test of time. While most investors focus on the standard rhetoric of - you want to look at who the founder is, who the team is, Peter’s thinking goes much deeper into what are the foundational layers of the project and what it’s aiming to accomplish, and what impact can this project have on the broader tech space (not just the web3 space).

We talk a lot about the role of community in shaping the success of a web3 project, and this led us down a rabbit hole of reminiscing and analyzing some of the NFT projects that rose to fame during the 2021 NFT craze. It’s really interesting to look back on some of the NFT projects I hedged my bets on back in 2021 and see where they are today (and how wrong I was about them).

Finally, we talk about autonomous worlds, onchain gaming, and why Peter is a proponent of being able to simulate real world scenarios in a digital sandbox environment. We wrap up with some hot takes on community building that Peter shared in seemingly contradictory tweets back in late 2021 - early 2022 and give him a chance to explain the context in which he wrote those tweets.

S5 E4 | Designing Diverse Teams w/Kaitlyn Smith Jul 13, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we speak with Kaitlyn Smith, Chief Strategy Officer of Bankless, about common mistakes web3 teams make in hiring, the business case for building diverse teams, human centered design, and much more. Bankless is a crypto media organization that’s trying to help the next billion people go bankless.

Kaitlyn is an ops queen who - prior to working in web3 - worked at BlackRock, Ernst & Young, and obtained her MBA from Georgetown. She has a wealth of experience in the hiring and team building space and brings a grounded and sophisticated perspective to the often disorganized and chaotic world of web3.

This episode wouldn’t be complete without a brief conversation about mountaineering - something both of us love to do. Kaitlyn shares some of her biggest adventures, misadventures, and learnings, which include learnings on why we need more diversity not just in web3 but in the mountaineering world as well.

Kaitlyn is equal parts analytical and empathetic, and her balanced approach to her work and her life, combined with her clear communication style, makes this an extremely digestible and actionable episode.

S5 E2 | Benefits of Liquid Staking w/html_tina Jun 29, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we have a highly technical conversation with html_tina about re-staking, liquid staking tokens (LSTs), oracles, slashing, and more. Html_tina is a Product Manager and Head of Governance at EigenLayer, a protocol built on Ethereum that introduces re-staking, a new primitive in cryptoeconomic security.

Tina does a great job of explaining these concepts in an easy to understand way, introducing playground analogies that even a 5 year old can understand. She also draws from traditional finance concepts like rehypothecation to further illustrate what liquid staking can enable.

On a more practical front, Tina shares her best tips for someone trying out liquid staking for the first time, including why it’s of utmost importance to find a liquid staking service that offers full decentralization and self custody.

Finally, Tina shares her views on the role of forking and rehypothecation in governance models and the potential benefits and drawbacks of the two within the context of a DAO.

S5 E1 | Competition, Community & Culture Jun 22, 2023

On our first episode of Season 5, we speak with Sirsu about competitive communities and culture through the lens of esports. Sirsu is one of the founders of BLVKHVND, an on chain esports organization that leverages innovative technology to compete globally and build open and accessible experiences for their community.

Sirsu shares some of his experiences with managing the community at BLVKHVND, including what he has done to foster an inclusive and welcoming community within the confines of competition and how he has handled conflicts that have arisen amongst community members along the way.

He also shares his thoughts more broadly on the role of leaders or facilitators within a competitive community, how that differs from a traditional competitive community to a decentralized one like BLVKHVND, and some web3 principles and tools he has incorporated into BLVKHVND that he thinks other competitive communities could benefit from as well.

Finally, we chat about one of Sirsu’s favorite topics: culture. Sirsu undertakes the challenge of quantifying culture with words and shares examples and analogies from daily life to help us better understand the nuances of various cultural movements in history.

S4 E14 | How Web3 Empowers Independent Artists w/Ibn Inglor May 18, 2023

On this episode of Rehash, we caught up with recording artist, Ibn Inglor, to discuss the intersection of web3, music, and community building. Ibn has been involved in the web3 music space since 2021 when he launched a Mirror crowdfund to support the production of his EP, Danger Zone.

Ibn’s musical journey started during his childhood in Chicago’s Altgeld Gardens - a neighborhood he wouldn't leave until his later teen years. As he continued to pursue music, he also became interested in the web3 space and NFTs thanks to a tip from a friend. After taking time to learn more about blockchain and the underlying technology, Ibn decided to dive into web3 music in 2021. He has been creating and experimenting ever since.

During our discussion we talk about navigating web3 and all of its challenges as an artist, experimenting with new tech, the importance of forming authentic relationships, and Ibn gives new web3 creators some advice on how to get started in the space.

S4 E7 | Future of Independent Work w/Richie Bonilla Mar 30, 2023

On this episode of rehash, we sit down with Richie Bonilla, co-founder of QUESTS and Clarity to talk about freelancing and his newest project, QUESTS. We discuss the challenges freelancers face today as well as the disadvantages of current popular freelance marketplaces. Richie shares his belief about peer reviews being a huge unlock for verifying the quality of freelance work, which through QUESTS, can help to connect the right freelancers with the right job opportunities.

Richie walks us through his personal experience as a freelancer which ultimately lead him to co-founding QUESTS, and we get the inside scoop on all that QUESTS provides for freelancers and project leaders alike. Before closing out our conversation with a quick game of word association, we think about the possibilities for freelance work in the future and how they might affect the future of work more broadly.

S4 E5 | Creating a Content Collective w/Frisson & Tommy Mar 16, 2023

In this DAO focused episode we sit down with the Tally Guys - Frisson and Tommy, co-hosts of DAO Talk, and co-creators of Content Guild. We start by laying the framework for how we think of DAOs, and define what it means to be “decentralized” and “autonomous.” Frisson and Tommy walk us through the birth of Content Guild and explain why Tally opted for a Service DAO instead of a marketing department. We dive into the ins and outs of Content Guild, how it operates, and how it’s governed, explaining why you should be bullish on Tally, Content Guild, and of course, DAOs overall.

S3 E15 | Privacy is a Public Good w/Henri Stern Dec 22, 2022

On this episode of Rehash, we sat down with Henri Stern, Co-founder and CEO of Privy. Privy helps you onboard crypto experts and beginners to your product. Regardless of whether you have a wallet, on desktop or mobile, you shouldn’t have to be an expert to get into the space and Privy makes it easy.

Henri comes from a highly technical background, nonetheless, he eloquently articulates complex topics in a way in which even web3 novices can understand and appreciate. We dive into cryptography, decentralization, cryptocurrency, and more as Henri shares how Privy is helping onboard new users and tackling the issue of privacy.

We also explore the nuances between things like privacy and transparency, privacy and UX, and risk and regulation. Henri shares how he’s “bullish on the bear market” and leaves listeners with some tips on how to maintain digital security.

S3 E14 | Building a Human-Centered Web3 w/Paris Rouzati Dec 15, 2022

On this episode of Rehash we sat down with Paris Rouzati, a web3 investor and advisor. Paris is heavily involved with marketing for Aave and Lens, where she organizes Raaves and leads the creation of Lens and Aave swag. Paris shares her web3 journey and gives listeners some insight into her investment thesis (or lack thereof) and calls out some amazing projects in the space.

We discuss marketing, paid marketing, growth strategies, and how marketing for a web3 native audience is quite different from web2. Paris gives us the inside scoop on how Lens and Aave go about creating swag that people actually love wearing, and throwing parties that everyone wants to attend. She shares how intentional the Aave and Lens teams are about community building and outreach, always maintaining a mindset of human-first-marketing-second, and of course, keeping it fun.

We also analyze the consumer and developer sides of web3 and discuss the importance of human-centered design. We talk about Lens, Farcaster and web3 social as a whole, as well the impacts of social media on mental health. Paris emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy mindset, sharing her tips for combating burnout - logging off, sharing how you’re feeling, and enjoying life outside of crypto.

S3 E13 | Access and Inclusion Through Policy w/Sumedha Deshmukh Dec 08, 2022

On this episode of Rehash we sat down with Sumedha Deshmukh from Crypto Council for Innovation to discuss the intersection of blockchain, policy, inclusion, and accessibility.

Sumedha first became interested in blockchain through the lens of how it could support international development. As a natural skeptic, she began researching blockchain on her own before turning her findings into a video guide for other development practitioners. Over the course of this project, Sumedha became even more interested in the blockchain space and later made the jump by joining the World Economic Forum’s Blockchain and Digital Assets team in 2018.

Diana starts off our discussion with a big question - wen meaningful policy? Sumedha explains how crypto’s history has been ironically plagued by barriers to entry and how that has impacted its adoption by the general public as well as its treatment by legislators. Although the space has developed drastically over the last decade, regulatory organizations are still waiting to see what real world impact blockchain could have before they give it more of their attention. Sumedha also gives us her thoughts around how policy makers could begin protecting consumers without stifling innovation.

During our conversation, we also dive into redistributing wealth and power, self custody, diversity in web3, and how mainstream news cycles influence crypto policy.

S3 E12 | Let's Talk About Mental Health in Web3 w/Satvik Sethi Dec 01, 2022

On this episode of Rehash we sat down with Satvik Sethi, Co-founder and CEO of Joincircle, a social media platform for web3. Satvik has been a mental health advocate since he was in middle school when he became the go-to person in his class to talk to when peers were struggling with mental health. He carried this passion for mental health advocacy with him through college and eventually found himself continuing to do so in the web3 space.

It’s no secret that those of us who work in and engage with the industry are susceptible to burnout, regardless of market conditions. Satvik addresses this and explains the importance of mental health in general, and specifically how it applies to the web3 space. We discuss the value of open conversation around politics and agree that removing politics from web3 is impossible, as much as we’d sometimes like to. Rather, we should (kindly) embrace sharing the opinions we have in order to move the space forward.

We switch gears to talk about SocialFi (which if you haven’t heard of it, don’t worry Satvik has you covered) and we discuss the “ultimate web3 social media platform,” Joincircle. Satvik shares his views on progressive decentralization and sufficient decentralization, saying it’s important for a project to start out centralized in order to be productive, but should still have its sight set on ultimately decentralizing and giving back to the community.

During our talk, we also touch on the topics of interoperability, fundraising, and ever-present FOMO.

S3 E11 | The Ultimate Use Case for DAOs w/Aaron Soskin Nov 17, 2022

On this episode of Rehash, we sat down with Aaron Soskin, founder of Govrn. Govrn is a DAO contribution platform designed to enable DAOs to be defined by their contributors. By recording your contributions and allowing other DAO members to attest to those contributions, you can maintain ownership over your work and keep an on-chain record of the value you provide to DAOs.

In this DAO forward episode, we cover a variety of topics from rage quitting and politics to the ways in which Govrn can help DAOs and their contributors. Aaron stresses the importance of DAOs being defined by the emergent properties that arise as the result of contributors providing value, and we discuss how Govrn allows contributors to own their work and get more meaningful validation for the work they do. We discuss the pros and cons of rage quitting, and Aaron explains why he’s a rage quit maxi. He also explains why it’s important for DAOs to enable divergence and convergence and shares that rage quitting doesn’t have to be permanent.

We later explore the human aspect of DAOs and discuss the nuances of decentralization, acknowledging that technology can’t solve all human coordination issues. We discuss DAOs in the light of politics and what that intersection could look like. We acknowledge the recent events (FTX) and discuss what the future may hold for DAOs in the coming months and years - agreeing that not all DAOs need to be permanent.

Aaron closes with speaking so passionately that his mic crumbles, starting SexySongDAO, answering some fun questions, and leaving listeners with how to get started using Govrn.

S3 E10 | The Evolution of Media w/Steph Alinsug Nov 10, 2022

In this episode of Rehash, we sat down with Steph Alinsug, Media Steward at Seed Club - an accelerator program for DAOs and DAO builders.

When Steph first heard about crypto from a podcast, the concept of DAOs and social tokens clicked for her right away. With previous careers as a branding specialist and a community organizer, she was always looking for a way to bring those two passions together. Web3 offered an opportunity to do just that.

Steph’s community-first branding approach lent itself nicely to her role at Seed Club, and she realized that the content she was creating wasn’t just content for the sake of marketing, but media that leveraged storytelling and community building to impact people with aligned values. This key difference is precisely what distinguishes content as we know it in web2 from the decentralized media of web3.

We dive into all of the nuances surrounding content, branding, marketing, media, decentralized media, web3 media, media in DAOs, and decentralized content creation. Although we use some of these terms interchangeably, Steph breaks down how she distinctly thinks about them, and we discuss Rafa’s project Folklore - a leading example of community-first media.

We double click on the human side of all of this as we discuss the inevitable hierarchy in DAOs, how media DAOs can progressively decentralize, ownership over the media you create, and the role curation plays in the decentralization of media. We also talk more broadly about conflict resolution and how imperative human to human relationships are as we explore new ways to organize ourselves and produce meaningful work in DAOs.

We close out our conversation with a few fun questions and Steph tells us how to find her and Seed Club on Twitter.

S3 E9 | Building the Digital City of Cities w/Julia Rosenberg & Chase Chapman Nov 03, 2022

In this episode of Rehash, we sat down with Julia Rosenberg and Chase Chapman from Metropolis to discuss all things DAOs, governance, and Metropolis.

Julia started learning about crypto after being frustrated with web2 scaling models in her startup journey, which eventually led her to co-founding Metropolis (previously Orca Protocol.) Chase fell down the crypto rabbit hole while working in marketing and data analytics. After graduating college she dove headfirst into the DAO ecosystem and started contributing to DAOs full time. She eventually started her own podcast, On the Other Side, where she talks about the human aspects of web3. Eventually she met Julia and fell in love with Orca Protocol (now Metropolis) before joining the team there.

Julia and Chase lay some groundwork for the episode by defining governance, not only in the DAO ecosystem, but much more broadly. We compare DAOs to digital cities and discuss the transition from corporate structures to DAOs, which transfers more ownership to members and gives them more autonomy over their work. We touch on the complexity of DAOs, the ways in which they are failing, the ways in which they can benefit humanity, and how Metropolis is enabling them to achieve better governance.

Julia and Chase explain the Metropolis rebrand and help listeners understand how the protocol works on a very basic and tangible level. We discuss the importance of organizations being human centric and scalable, and the two share how they have seen DAOs evolve as well as how they think they’ll evolve in the coming years.

S3 E8 | You Can't Buy Community w/Parker Jay-Pachirat Oct 27, 2022

Parker Jay-Pachirat is Head of Community and on the Investment Team at Fintech Collective, a DeFi investment firm. She is also part of the Founding Team of Boys Club, a community and DAO helping women and non-binary individuals navigate web3.

Parker had a pretty untraditional journey into web3, with a background in humanities and having studied critical theory at a liberal arts college. However, when Parker first learned about blockchain technology, she was so hooked that she decided to pursue a career as a crypto VC, and against all odds, she broke into her dream industry.

We dive right into the episode by discussing off chain influences on DAO governance. Parker believes that code isn’t law (despite popular belief) and embraces the nuances of humanity in complex decision making. She believes that by utilizing off chain influences for the greater good of the DAO, you can actually create healthier governance models and more authentically represent the will of the DAO. We discuss the pros and cons of anonymous voting, and issues surrounding social capital, voter apathy, and token voting in general.

Parker believes that there’s no one right way to structure a DAO, but instead thinks deeply about how DAO structure and governance can be implemented differently to best serve the unique purpose of individual DAOs. At Boys Club, Parker is directly overseeing the process of turning Boys Club into a DAO and she’s spent the last 11 months researching, creating, and implementing a structure and governance system that is specifically tailored to Boys Club.

Parker’s shares what she’s most excited about as a VC - zero knowledge proofs and rollups. We also dive into how Parker distinctly differentiates marketing from community, with marketing being something you can purchase and community being something that is priceless. Parker shares her thoughts on post humanism as it relates to blockchain technology and inadvertently discloses that she is a Neuralink maxi.

Through some fun closing questions we learn a little bit more about Parker personally - she loves StarkNet, her job(s), Boys Club forking, and the city of Berlin.

S3 E7 | Rethinking Identity & Reputation w/Evin McMullen Oct 20, 2022

Evin McMullen is the CEO of Disco, a toolkit that allows users to own and control their data and digital identity. She’s also an active member of DAO Jones, Boys Club, and one of the OG members of $INK DAO.

If you’re interested in digital identity, verifiable credentials, or decentralized identifiers, this episode is for you and Evin has got you covered. We start by defining digital identity to lay the groundwork for listeners who may be new to the space and we cover Kim Cameron’s 7 Laws of Identity and how blockchain companies can improve user experience by implementing them more consciously.

Now that we have some context, we hit the ground running and Evin dives deep into off-chain vs. on-chain data storage, off-chain vs. on-chain reputation, Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), Verifiable Credentials (VCs), and how these technologies can help bring some humanity and understanding to the highly technical world of web3.

We discuss identity more broadly and Evin shares her analogy between identity and a disco ball. We touch on topics like social capital, reputation, tattoos, identity in DAOs, and discoverability in web3. Evin shares how disco helps users control and own their digital identity with their personalized disco data backpack, and the ways in which disco is exploring monetization.

S3 E6 | DAO Decentralization Thesis & Artificial Intelligence w/nintynick Oct 13, 2022

In this DAO-heavy episode, we sit down with nintynick, a core contributor at Hats Protocol, to discuss all things decentralization, AI, and coordination.

Nick initially got into coding and finance with the goals of working in gaming, but has since pivoted whole-heartedly into the web3 space.To lay some groundwork, he tells listeners how he defines a DAO. We then dive right in by comparing DAOs with traditional companies, analyzing when a traditional company should and should not decentralize, and we flesh out the ins and outs of progressive decentralization.

Nick shares his thoughts on how to successfully start and maintain a DAO, emphasizing the need for values alignment. Nick is quite bullish on DAOs and believes that by 2034 (we forced him to pick a date) DAOs will become more effective than traditional organizations.

Digging deeper into the intersection of AI and tech, Nick explains agent-based modeling in AI, and we explore the automation of work, automated constrained delegation, Hats Protocol, and compare AI to human capability.

S3 E5 | How to Avoid Crypto Scams w/Taylor Monahan Oct 06, 2022

Taylor Monahan is Product Lead at MetaMask, a crypto wallet and gateway to blockchain apps.

As an early crypto adopter, Taylor has watched almost every cycle of crypto come and go. About a year after the Ethereum presale, she learned there were real blockchain apps popping up on the Ethereum blockchain. And even in these early days, she recognized the industry’s need for something critical — better wallets.

Taylor pivoted into working on creating her own wallet with a more user-friendly interface and….actual buttons and stuff. This turned into MyCrypto, which was later bought by MetaMask. Taylor has been building web3 tooling and working on making wallets easier to use ever since.

During our discussion with Taylor, we dive into wallet security and cover basic wallet 101 info. She runs us through some best practices and ways in which your wallet can become compromised, as well as how a recovery phrase/seed phrase works and how to prevent attacks.

Taylor also shares how she almost got scammed, Diana shared how her sister did get scammed, and we go over the importance of double checking, triple checking, and gut checking before you sign a transaction. Taylor also informs us of some steps you can take to cross-examine the validity of whatever site you are interacting with.

Finally, Taylor shares how the web3 space (and wallets in particular) have evolved over the years of her long and successful career, and she leaves us with some spicy hot takes on the future of web3.

S3 E4 | CC0, Creator Royalties, and Storytelling in Web3 w/Simon de la Rouviere Sep 29, 2022

Not only is Simon De La Rouviere the founder of Untitled Frontier, which explores the intersection of storytelling and web3, but he is also an early Ethereum developer who worked on creating the ERC-20 token standard. He’s also a science fiction writer and author of “The Hoperunners of Gridlock” which you can check out in the links below.

We dive into the intersection of web3 and the creator economy, and Simon shares his thoughts on the ways in which web3 technology can empower creators to more directly interact with their fans. We touch on Li Jin’s theory of the 100 true fans, and Simon describes what he would like the future creator economy to look like.

We discuss CC0, and the ways in which web3 is changing IP models for the benefit of creators. We also talk about creator royalties and how they should be utilized correctly. Simon shares his first hand experience as a creator when he wrote “Hoperunners of Gridlock” and we compare web2 and web3 creator monetization models. Simon shares his thoughts on the current narrative of web3 and highlights what he thinks web3 marketers should focus on.

We get the inside scoop on Simon’s latest project, Untitled Frontier, which is a platform for fiction writers to sell NFTs related to their stories, and something SImon is so passionate about that even if he had all the money in the world and never had to work another day in his life, he would still be dedicating his time to it.

S3 E3 | Experimenting With New Media Models in Web3 w/Daisy Alioto Sep 22, 2022

Daisy Alioto is the co-founder of Dirt, a daily(ish) newsletter about entertainment online that uses NFTs for community participation and governance.

With over a decade of experience working in audience development at tech startups and companies like Time Inc, Daisy is well versed in content, editorial, marketing, community building, and more. This background prepped her to see the potential in web3 early on, as she was already familiar with the wide breadth of media structures that have popped up throughout the digital media boom. So when she decided she wanted to start a digital media project of her own, she and co-founder Kyle Chayka brought those traditional building blocks together with NFTs and web3 tech. Dirt was born.

Today, Dirt consists of a newsletter, NFT art editions and a growing community of readers and token-holders. The project is carving out a space for ‘weird but intelligent’ content and giving community members options for how deeply involved they want to be - from occasional consumers to collectors and curators.

During our conversation with Daisy, she walks us through the rapidly changing digital media landscape. She explains the troubles with our reliance on digital ads and platforms, the idea of product-audience fit, and the opportunities in web3 for media to be more community supported. While she is deeply familiar with digital media’s current issues, she is optimistic about its future.

We also discuss being a media-first brand, decentralized content creation, and the role that traditional marketing techniques play in web3. Finally, Daisy gives us her thoughts on where she sees media and social networks heading, and gives us a reason to go back and play Candyland again.

S3 E2 | Non-Financial Use Cases for Tokens w/David Phelps Sep 15, 2022

On this Episode of Rehash, we sat down with David Phelps. On top of being the founder of JokeDAO and an investor at Cowfund, David is also a writer, thinker, and talented shitposter.

Contrary to what his boyish looks might suggest, David is a boomer who spent his prior life in the web2 and education spaces. After starting a tutoring agency that gave tutors a much larger slice of the revenue pie, David found his way into the web3 DAO space. Today, he continues to focus on projects that give creators and users the ownership and compensation that they deserve.

JokeDAO is an on-chain governance platform used by web3 projects (including Rehash!) to create and run contests in a fair, decentralized manner. In the short time since it popped up, JokeDAO has been used by other creators like Packy McCormick and organizations like Tally and Jukebox to give their communities a stronger voice in what they’re making.

As someone who spends much of his time thinking about and working on governance, David brings us on a deep dive into its nuances. We discuss the role of tokens in voting and online communities, why governance should be chaotic, and some of the unique challenges JokeDAO has faced. David also tells us about the intricate ways that JokeDAO could be used to create more community-aligned proposals and decisions.

Aside from governance, David explains the potential of blockchains and projects like Cosmos and Celestia, gives his bullish argument for web3, and breaks down what he looks for when investing in the space.

For good measure, we also make plenty of cow jokes, we take a look at the line between governance and moderation, David shills Cosmos, and he explains why beavers (real ones, not from cartoons) should be the official symbol of JokeDAO.

S3 E1 | Best Practices for Operating a DAO w/Dennison Bertram Sep 08, 2022

On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Dennison Bertram, founder of Tally, a DAO operations platform. Dennison is also the #2 backer from our initial Mirror crowdfund and, as a result, one of Rehash’s Queen of the Pod. Thank you Dennison!

Dennison has been in the crypto space since 2012, earning himself true OG status. Although he was a self-proclaimed Bitcoin in his early days, he’s now Ethereum-pilled and building Tally across several blockchains.

In a DAO-heavy discussion, we dive deep into the challenges DAOs are facing, particularly around operations. We dive into what it means to be a DAO, how to set one up correctly, and Dennison gives us some DAO best practices. We also talk about “fake” DAOs and how bad actors are coming into the space to get DAO recognition, but not truly behaving like a DAO when things go south.

We compare DAOs with traditional companies and analyze some of the challenges they both face. Dennison also shares his views on decentralization maxis as well as the controversial topic of what DAOs can learn from corporations.

Dennison leaves us with some final thoughts around what he’s most bullish about, most bearish about, and what excites him the most about the future of DAOs.

Latashá is a musical artist, Head of Community at Zora, Founder of Zoratopia, and Contributor to herstoryDAO, refractionDAO, unicornDAO, and FWB.

S2 E4 | Building a DAO is Like Constructing a Burrito w/Spencer Graham Jun 07, 2022

On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Spencer Graham, product contributor at DAOhaus.

Spencer was nominated by JP (@jonathanprozzi) and some of the questions asked in this episode were submitted by DAO member Carsten Pötter (@carstenpoetter).

With a background in economics and psychology, Spencer became increasingly interested in web3 when he began to understand how it could transform complex systems like healthcare and investing. He also has a great love for burritos, which just so happen to provide a useful model for creating healthy, balanced organizations.

Aside from discussing burritos, we talk about other useful principles and models for DAOs, some mistakes they should avoid, and dive into the tricky process of decentralizing. Spencer also explains the idea of capture-resistant governance which leads us to touch on power struggles, resource management, contributor incentivization, hierarchies, and the potential of web3 to replace traditional top-down systems with flatter networks.

S1 E12 | Writing a Song a Day for 13+ Years w/Jonathan Mann Apr 26, 2022

On this episode of Rehash we’re talking with Jonathan Mann, a songwriter and musician who is currently in his 14th consecutive year of creating a song every day. Yes, we also think it’s crazy.

Jonathan began his journey of releasing daily original songs back in 2009, long before Ethereum and NFTs were even thought of. He would post his work to Tumblr and YouTube, but was always on the lookout for new technology to leverage. Then, in 2017, Jonathan came across CryptoPunks and began looking into web3 and NFTs.

We talk with Jonathan about his pre-web3 days of making money from music by entering video contests, the early NFT scene, and how he’s managed to keep his momentum after all these years. We also discuss the rights and royalties of music NFTs, community building in DAOs, and how Jonathan’s project, SongADAO, handles voting. Finally, we attempt to wrap our heads around token-gated registries and get Jonathan’s picks for what NFTs will still be around 5 years from now.

S1 E11 | Humanizing Blockchain Technology w/Karsen Daily Apr 26, 2022

On this episode of Rehash we’re talking with artist, writer, and prolific shitposter, Karsen Daily. Known for her NFT collections 27 Times and NFT Affirmations, Karsen first got involved in web3 when her former employer, Superplastic, dropped an NFT collection on Nifty Gateway. With a background in writing, marketing, and brand development, and an affinity for art and pop culture, Karsen quickly found herself falling down the web3 rabbit hole.

After spending some time in the space, Karsen left Superplastic and jumped into web3 full-time. She realized the potential that blockchain and NFTs held for writers and designers to make a living from their creative work without having to use their skills simply for marketing purposes.

Over the course of our conversation, we talk about Karsen’s artwork, NFTs, the significance of digital identities and communities, how marketing and brand work is different in web3, and how we can build more humanity into blockchain technology. We also meet Karsen’s dog, Pearl!

On this episode of Rehash, we’re talking with LDF, Chief gm Officer of the Open Metaverse.

With roots in tech, marketing, and gaming, and former spots at Facebook and Reddit, LDF stumbled into web3 several years ago. She wasn’t initially drawn in by the financial aspect, but NFTs certainly managed to spark her interest. LDF saw blockchain, along with its decentralized toolset, as an opportunity to create new monetization models that could truly enable the ownership economy.

During our chat LDF speaks on the future of work, the unique path she took into web3, and the roles that memes play in our lives, both online and off.

S1 E8 | Using NFTs for Good w/Abe Uccello Apr 26, 2022

On this episode of Rehash, we’re talking with Abe Uccello, founder of Pris0n Art. Abe has an interesting professional past, having worked in tech and later serving as the Director of the Florida Department of Corrections. His time in these spaces gave him a unique perspective on how emerging tech, like web3, could be used to bring about positive change for incarcerated individuals.

This led Abe to spin up Pris0n Art - an organization that helps those coming out of the prison system pay their legal fees through the creation and sale of NFTs. Around 30% of felons land back in prison due to their inability to pay these fees, leading to a vicious cycle that it’s easy to see but difficult to climb out of. Pris0n Art works with the incarcerated to help them tell their stories through art, sell that art as NFTs, and use those funds to pay their debt. Instead of coming out of prison with a mountain of debt, Pris0n Art helps to ease that process and give them a real shot at getting back on their feet.

During our conversation we also discuss mental health, how DAOs could increase access to supportive networks, other use cases of NFTs, the power of composability, and more.

S1 E7 | Autopay for Web3 w/Eleni Steinman Apr 26, 2022

On this episode of Rehash, we’re chatting with Loop Crypto co-founder, Eleni Steinman. After working for the federal government, Eleni went to business school in hopes of starting a business of her own. Once she was there, she stumbled across the Bitcoin whitepaper and fell down the crypto rabbit hole, eventually moving to Chicago to get her foot in the crypto industry door.

After working in the space for several years, Eleni took the leap and co-founded a project to solve a problem that she and her peers found themselves constantly running into. That problem was the lack of auto payment and subscription options in the crypto space, and the answer was Loop Crypto.

Eleni tells us all about the goals and plans of Loop, from streamlining SaaS subscription payments for DAOs to making crypto donations and loans easier than ever and much more. We also get into the future use cases of Loop, talk about music NFTs and ticketing, the state of crypto security, and discuss the role of regulation in the web3 space.

We begin the episode by following Jihad’s journey into web3 and discussing how he got started at Forefront and Syndicate. Jihad then gives us an overview of social tokens and tokenized communities aka DAOs. Together, we brainstorm ways to prioritize diversity and avoid elitism within these kinds of communities.

We dive into the nitty gritty of Jihad’s essay “Defining Tokenized Communities” and break down the seven elements that he believes are essential for a successful DAO. You can read his article here: Defining Tokenized Communities.

Finally, we discuss the kinds of communities that should be tokenized, and the kinds that should not. And we look to the future for what tokenized communities could look like in the next five years, how these communities could improve, and ways these communities could impact our everyday lives.
